Mysql database structure for tags

I had to implement tags for a site I’m developing and found this useful article on the topic:-

TagSchema

I used the 3 table version as recommended and then worked out the add/edit routines. Hopefully it’s all smooth from here.

Playing until the Wii hours...

Wii Sports

Had another enjoyable Friday night playing Wii Sports and Wii Fitness games at a mates place.

The tennis and bowling are the most enjoyable of the Wii Sports collection. I like the baseball as well, but the golf and boxing I found boring.

The balance board has me enthralled. Who knew that standing up could be so much fun? ;)  Although the programmers seem to have not given the product quite as much attention overall as they have the details of each game.

Trying to either setup a series of activities isn’t possible and playing with friends becomes annoying when you have to go all the way back to the menu to change profile. There should have been some kind of quick profile change menu along the top.

I’m still keen for one, but then I’m only getting to use it once a week. perhaps with daily use I’d become jaded faster.

Wii convert in the making

Went to a mates place on Friday night and after some good old fashioned drinking ended up in front of the TV checking out his latest console, the Nintendo Wii.

I am completely blown away by the controller and the player interaction capabilities.

Its seriously the most amazing games system I’ve had a chance to play with. I’m very impressed and have real trouble coming up with superlatives to do it justice.

If you know someone with one of these consoles you have to check it out.
